Staying Green During Winter
The past few weeks it’s gone below zero during the night and I’m doing my best to stay warm. I’m not one of those who enjoys outside walks during the winter because I don’t like frozen limbs. Lately, I’ve been thinking about places I can escape up here without having to get on airplane. WhereContinue reading “Staying Green During Winter”
Coffee Time
My school field trip day extended and I decided that I wanted to recreate school story hour too. It was another jump into the car because I have some new goals for 2025. One goal is to read and finish the piles of paper bound books I have stacked up at home. The second wasContinue reading “Coffee Time”
A Fall Feast
The autumn leaves are falling up north and I’ve been a ghost to my own pages. Preptober is here and I’m not going for a month long frenzy this year.

Ghost Towns
Friday is here again and I’ve been enjoying my change of career to focus on the creative part of my brain. My body is tired today because our show circuit has begun.

Hidden Corners

Announcement Day!
Monday morning is here and I can hardly sit still in my seat. I planned on getting up late but my body was too excited and I woke up around 6:00 am. The feeling today is so different than other days because I woke up feeling relaxed, instead of dreading the drive to work. I’mContinue reading “Announcement Day!”
Silent Nights
Looking out the window in the dead of the night at the quiet streets that are strangely without the white sparkles in the moonlight. I blink a few times to make sure that I’m not hallucinating. A power bigger than myself listened to my prayer because I’m getting my brown Christmas. Yes, there might beContinue reading “Silent Nights”
Twin Cities Con 2023
I know a few weeks have passed since my last post but my world has been filled with life size cats, characters from The Never Ending Story, and very tall Chewbacca’s.
